Re: Coordination points between RDF(S) and DAML+OIL

Frank,

At its teleconference on Friday 13th July 2001, the RDFCore working
group formally acknowledged receipt of this document.  The preliminary
minutes of this meeting can be found at:

  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2001Jul/0148.html

We have taken an action to assess the contents of this document and
to give a first response by the end of this month (July 2001).

RDFCore co-chair
